Orient or Sheffield United away

[The Voice of the Thorpe Area 0]

...even the cup draw is cruel to us these days!

[......and Smith must score. 1,357]

Another rubbish draw......

[alex_ncfc 664]

What a crap draw.

Sod''s law says we will be playing Sheff Utd three times in quick succession...next week inb the league and a draw and replay in the Cup

never been to orient, come on you "O"s

Yet another absolutely crap draw, no chance of making any money and little chance of going through as it will most likely be Sheff Utd.

did we win the replay against Charlton? Must have missed it.

[alex_ncfc 664]

Are my eyes deceiving me? We were not on the list of cup games at the end of the draw! Can someone confirm?!

[grantroederdisaster 0]

Orient away would be a good draw cause its not far being in North London and they haven''t got a big following so they''d possibly give us a good allocation on top of the normal FA Cup allowance!

 

But we and Orient have to get through our games first so I''m not holding my breath!

orient definately wont win and we probably wont win even if we do we can say bye bye to the FA cup next game as sheff td will rape us the way were playing at the minute (yes i know we beat them earlier in the season but still.....) and we always play shi*e against lower league teams and get nocked out

come on boys - thats not the spirit of the ole 59ers...is it???don''t you fret - i know we''ve been playing like an old division 3 side these days (in their honour), but surely naaarwich always do well as the underdogs - in which case, lets hope for an away tie to sheff utd...and as somebody suggested, maybe a draw up there and win down here will do ''em...mind u - we''ve gotta beat the charlton first...oopps///

Are we just not allowed to have a decent home draw? [:@]

[Bovril 219]

Deary me just when you think things can''t get much worse we go and draw (most likely) sheffield united away from home....how many away ties have we had in the last 10 years?!Should we beat Charlton, then it''s also guarenteed to make our highlights be shown last once more, and anyone watchin ssn? They went through the draw, talked about 15/16 ties, the tie they didnt say anything about?...Yep you''ve guessed it.

Out of interest Pete, how many away ties have we had in the last ten / fifteen years?

[shefcanary 2,444]

Obviously we still have to win the replay first but given where I live Sheffield Utd is good for me! 

We also have had a good recent run against them recenetly, and I particularly would look forward to Lupoli running rings around them in the same way We Love You used to!  The Blades fans really hated him!

Thanks for that fella''s....

So 6 out of 14 have been home ties, in all honesty I thought it was worse then that, so by theory the next two should be at home (although that won''t be the case should we beat charlton)

[Guest]

Missed another MK Dons away out of that list.

Assuming we get through (a dangerous assumption), I''d rather we got Orient as it''s a game we''d be more likely to win, and a different team to play and a different ground to visit. Seeing as we''re playing Sheffield United in the league this Saturday I don''t want to play them so soon afterwards like we did with Charlton.
